Texas Rangers farm system reshuffles after Frisco season ends, promoting Winston Santos and Emiliano Teodo to Triple-A Round Rock. Santos, 23, returns from a back stress reaction after five minor-league appearances and three solid starts pre-injury; Teodo, 24, has battled control and owns a 7.71 ERA across 28 innings this year between Round Rock and Frisco. Top prospect Sebastian Walcott, 19, stays at Frisco to rest before an Arizona Fall League stint. The moves underscore a measured, depth-forward development plan that prioritizes workload management and rapid Triple-A exposure for a rising group of arms.

Teodo returns to the mound for Texas after a two-month back setback, moving into a relief role with an eye toward a September call-up if health cooperates. He’s on the 40-man roster and could be used as a mid- to late-inning option for Texas’ bullpen if he clears the rust and stays healthy.

His track record shows upside: 1.98 ERA across 86 innings as Frisco’s starter in 2024, though this year’s shift to relief and a pair of IL stints clouded the outlook. A healthy finish could nudge Teodo back into the Rangers’ long-term plans and deepen late-season bullpen options for fantasy managers watching Texas’ depth chart.

Texas leans on veterans like Eovaldi down the stretch while developing younger arms; Teodo’s return adds speculative upside for Dynasty and keeper formats, especially if he can reclaim his starter-in-waiting pedigree and translate relief outings into meaningful innings in September.

As the 2025 MLB season approaches, Rotoworld's staff has unveiled bold predictions that can shift the fantasy landscape. Dylan Crews, the Nationals' second overall pick, is expected to steal an impressive 60 bases, especially with his elite sprint speed and a role atop the lineup. Oneil Cruz's extraordinary raw power could see him push for first-round fantasy value with projections of 35 home runs and 30 steals. Emiliano Teodo is primed to lead the Rangers in saves, transitioning from a traditional starter role, while Jack Leiter is forecasted to outshine fellow AL rookies and clinch the AL Rookie of the Year award. Other intriguing predictions include Cristopher Sánchez finishing as a top-15 fantasy starter and Jake Fraley combining for an eye-popping 50 homers and stolen bases. With these insights, fantasy managers should pay close attention as they prepare for their drafts.
